Did anyone else think the ending was better than the show? As much as I remember liking it as a kid, I can barely remember what Outlaw Star was about besides a gun, a catgirl, and a spaceship that fought with a knife.

But that ending was always inspiring as a kid. For a few minutes, it took sci-fi for me out of the gun metal grey world of robots and space ships and made it into something beautiful.

It had some awesome 10/10 episodes that I will always remember, and rank amongst my favourite episodes of anime. But it also had some mediocre episodes and as a package the show was good, and entertaining, but not outstanding. It's still one of my favourite space animu.
